I just want to make sure: Axiom will be able to read zrf files yes? It will have the same features ZoG has yes? With all the ideas bubbling around, it may take...
... It ... Axiom has its own built-in scripting language that is Forth based (as opposed to ZoG, which is Lisp based). Axiom offers the full power of Forth as...

Looks like we are over 12 members. I am plan on getting some specs and wishlist up here sometime next week for discussion. Getting all this out and organized...
... If Karl gets on that, and lets loose on his creativity, we will still turn Axiom into ASL via the use of the D20 ruleset :-P I look forward to Karl giving...
Thanks :) Don't expect anything from me apart from a bit of quality lurking; two small children, and a couple of other projects are taking up lots of my...
Just starting to delve into your excellent docs, and I encounter: The board definition must be equivalent to the Zillions board definition in the minimal .zrf...
The Axiom Developer's guide makes some mention of connection type games, insofar as improving the evaluation function is concerned. But it doesn't seem to...

Rather than patch Zillions, a better long term solution is to generate a separate GUI. This GUI would have to understand the zrf language insofar as graphics...

Ok, I am curious here what we are talking about as far as GUI. I saw two types of GUIs, one for playing games (required), the other one for coding up the...
